What numbers are you shifting?

Those of you publishing, what numbers are you selling ?

How are you managing your marketing, wether it's epublishing or paper ?

Are you selling internationally or Locally ?

I shifted 200 in a weekend a while back. It was a giveaway promotion though; otherwise it's about one every five months.

It might be wise to make it clear you are talking about books...at least I hope you are talking about books.:D

Are you actively marketing?

I've sold a grand total of 40 copies of my book in a year at 99cent a pop. Boom!
Money. Me. Rolling in it. :-)

Yes, mostly. I have it on Barnes and noble (0 sold) and on the fastpencil.com marketplace (5 sold).
Beyond the original social media over sharing blitz when it launched I have done no marketing. I'm saving that for my main project. I'm planning to spend about a grand on that when it is released.

50,000 of Pleasures of Winter so far, but it's still selling, so don't have final figures.

I really should write that into something. I still think about it almost daily.

maccored

maximum of a few hundred a year with two books. a third has just been released as an ebook and paperback but Ive no stats on that. the first two are through a publisher who has them in quite a few online retailers and Easons, whereas the third is self published with another author through Lulu. Any marketing is mainly done through facebook and talks/conventions

I printed off a copy of mine through Lulu for the first time the other day for someone who just won't read ebooks. The quality is very good, I have to say.
